Guilty verdict - there was ENOUGH evidence!

well he shoulda been on the jury. Prosecutors flubbed big time going for Murder 1, in my estimate, since it carried the death penalty. A leseer charge that carried up to 25 to life probably would have been more likely to succeed.

I agree that the circumstantial evidence supports her implication in knowledge of the crime, but not in the committing of it. Actually, I don't think Casey Anthony is smart enough to cover the whole thing up by herself. George, however, has such knowledge. There, I now have circumstantial evidence that George did it.

(I'm mostly joking, of course.)

And the jury gave you their opinion. And that's the only opinion that matters.

Circumstantial evidence only works when there is no other plausible explaination. The defense in this case gave a theory that the jury believed was plausible. And the prosecution failed to eliminate it.

Having been, sadly, forced to get way, way more up on this than I ever wanted it is hard to fathom a scenario that is "reasonable.". The one the defense gave isn't for example. I think people have a bad, and this seems to be true from my time on JD, understanding of what "reasonable" is when it comes to reasonable doubt it isn't that you can create any other story because if you get Joe around it could be aliens and bigfoot that did it.

Dal ^^hit the nail on the head.

Reasonable doesnt mean iron clad. These people think if there insnt a series of scientific studies, three eye witnesses, and a video tape that is reasonable doubt. Everyone has opinions but some of these opinions are absurd.

^ Exactly, good sir.

Maybe the OP thinks he's...*Manly voice* THE HAAAAAAALL MONITOR, and can post topics in places they don't belong as such?

C'mon OneTruth, you know better...

NOW LET'S THROW PEANUTS AT HIM, AND SEE HOW HE LIKES IT!

*sends 64 police cars after him, all of which end up crashing into a building*

THE SENIORS ARE GETTING CRANKY!

Believe me, that jury wanted her in Jail. Those jurors didn't want to be there any longer than they had to for nothing. No one ever does, high profile or not. The jurors one obligation in a trial is that when they commit to a guilty verdict, it has to be without a shred of doubt. Indirectly, she is definitely responsible for the child being dead (was the child right beside her protected? no.) Yes that's neglect to the fullest, it's just not proving SHE directly murdered that little girl.

They tried her for murder and they did a very bad job of proving anything, just jarbled up information everywhere. What they should have done was tried her at the fullest for child neglect and/or abuse, and give her the "normal" sentence for the worst child abusers. That would have stuck imo.

i find the obsession with Casey Anthony rather disturbing

It would have been handy to have been able to show - reasonably - how the child was murdered.

If she wasn't an attractive young party girl, the case wouldn't have gotten one one-hundredth the attention.
